People in Taiwan
Corbett | May 12, 2005 4:13 AM
I just think it's so cool that in the course of 6 hours, I've gone shopping for mattresses, had a conference call with a tech company in Beijing, was given a box of handmade chocolates from a friend who studies culinary arts in Switzerland, mastered some punk and ska bootlegs I recorded live at my club over the weekend, got interrupted by a young Chinese/Japanese hip hop DJ promoter from East LA to ask for advice on the music biz, played some drums in a jam session with a reggae band composed of a Chinese guy from Belize and a Japanese guy who grew up in Kenya, got interrupted again by someone who wants me to invest in a club with him, introduced a yoga instructor who wants to sing to a Canadian jazz guitarist, mixed a few drinks, got a call asking where to find an African djembe player for a last minute gig, had a brief conversation with an arts administrator about arts funding sponsorship in Taiwan, interviewed a newly arrived Belgium guy for a bartender position, and chatted for a while with a French guy about the beauty of the French language in popular music.
No wonder I have no time to blog.

3q2u is written by Corbett Wall, and is really just a window into my quirky little world. It's also a way for me to exercise my thoughts and make random comments outside of cultural, language, or business barriers.
3q2u is an acronym which if said in Chinese and Japanese sounds like "Thank you to you!" Dumb but easy to remember. More >>

Coming from the 'Canadian Jazz Guitarist', who was there that night, and has been to the Living Room many nights since I arrived in Taipei...you certainly are a busy guy. I think the brief sit you had on that drum stool was the only time I've seen you sit down. But hey, would you rather be trying to teach English to a room full of screaming 5 year olds?
Cheers,
Greg

Hmmm, let me think: room full of screaming kids or running a club...
